Oxford, UK — 09/09/2025 — Solo developer Pablo Morales (King, Rebellion, Ubisoft) has launched the Kickstarter campaign for Broken Relic, a pixel-art point-and-click adventure built with classic DNA: witty interactions, clever puzzle chains, and scenes you want to linger on. The campaign is live at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/broken-relic/broken-relic with a free demo on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3384820/Broken_Relic/).
“I grew up on LucasArts and Sierra, trading puzzle solutions at school and dreaming of making one myself. Broken Relic is that dream: a heartfelt, modern take on the adventure I always wanted to play,” said creator Pablo Morales. “If those games shaped you too, I think this will feel like home.”
What is Broken Relic?
You play Tim, an apprentice who unleashes an ancient threat and must recover three relic shards to set things right. Expect characterful dialogue, hand-crafted pixel art, and puzzle design that rewards curiosity over guesswork.
Key features
- Classic point-and-click feel with smart, readable puzzle chains
- Hand-crafted pixel art and expressive character animation
- Character-driven dialogue with humour and heart
- Non-linear shard hunt, tackle regions in your own order
Rewards for fans and collectors
Backers can choose digital editions or go physical with retro big-box releases (Classic/Deluxe). Limited NPC cameos let supporters appear in-game. Full reward details are listed on the campaign page.
Why Kickstarter, why now
Funding focuses on final art/polish, professional English voice-over, localisation, QA, and manufacturing of the big-box editions. Stretch goals expand content/value visible to all backers.
